Not only Astra consumes usage way faster than sol, but the code is worse, at least for my use cases. I went back so sol (x)high.

If we get to the point where a local model can reliably do the coding for a good majority of cases, then the economic landscape changes significantly. And we are not that far from having big open weight models that can do that, which is a f

There's no disagreement, the algebraic one is the correct one, obviously. Anyone that says differently is wrong. :)

We already know he'll want a prize for that. Anyone has a Nobel for making it rain that usually goes to God?

Maybe it's just me, but the idea that the average web project out there is a complicated mess and thank God we have AI so we can finally think about the things that matter while AI deals with the mess... it makes me sad.

If you run FreeBSD on your laptop you don't auto connect to public WiFi. Joking, but not that much :)

Companies like apple should be liable to pay many millions in damages for this kind of shit. The people should make it hurt so much for them that they think twice before doing it without having a clear and working appeal process where you a

Facts my friend, facts. You may not like them, you may think they are out of context and/or misused, but they are still facts. Another fact is that the money saved went to fund a (small) portion of the big beautiful bill, which doesn&#

Yes, I agree with you that it's going to be difficult for researcher that are not at the top of their field. But if some of the top researchers started the flow, and goverments in other countries woke up and took advantage of the situa

In theory yes, in practice that's irrelevant unless you can show someone has done it, and nobody has in 40+ years as far as I know

That works in numerical libraries because you can encapsulate the loops into basic operations that you then lower to C. In a domain like type checking it's not nearly as easy/doable.

My friend, Amazon being legally allowed to behave like a schmuck doesn't imply the community can't point that out and complain about it. AWS (legally) exploits open source projects, and that's a fact. There are many actions a

I remember having multiple issues doing this in rust, but can't recall the details. Are you sure I would just be able to have whatever refs I want and use them without the borrow checker complaining about things that are actually perfe

If your use case can be split into phases you can just allocate memory from an arena, copy out whatever needs to survive the phase at the end and free all the memory at once. That takes care of 90%+ of all allocations I ever need to do in m

While technically true, it still simplifies memory management a lot. The tradeoff in fact is good enough that I would pick that over a borrowchecker.

Honestly, I'm not sure, I don't know how you can look at the actions Trump took in the last few days and not at least consider the possibility that he is russian asset.

I'm starting to think that the US is done for, short of a civil war to stop it they'll never get out of the damage done by four years of this.

I agree in principle, but I'd like to see more EU countries get nukes

You were buying influence by spending your money on your own military. But I agree that the EU should never have relied on the US for its own defense, I really hope that will change now.

by francasso 2y ago
The EU needs to get armed to the teeth and to pile up on nukes. The US cannot be trusted, half of the country is compromised and that's not something that will change any time soon, even after Trump goes to meet his creator.

Would they also change the aliasing assumptions to something close to C/C++? Otherwise I imagine it would be relatively easy to make mistakes and get "surprises" at runtime thanks to the optimizer.

Is there a relation between the "single axiom for boolean algebra" that Wolfram claims to have discovered and the fact that you can express all boolean operations with just NAND?
